Final Circle - Are you afraid of the dark

[Verse] Black eyeliner running like a confession Knuckles white on the edge of the sink Every mirror shows a different version Of the monster you swear you don’t see You say you’re fine but your pulse is racing Like a freight train off the rails inside I hear the tremor beneath your breathing Like you’re bracing for another night [Pre-Chorus] If the lights cut out, will you disappear? If the room goes cold, will you still be here? Tell me what you’re fighting when you close your eyes [Chorus] Are you afraid of the dark in your head? The kind that crawls under hospital beds If the world shuts down and the sky turns red I’ll be the match in your shaking hands You don’t gotta drown in the quiet You don’t gotta bleed just to feel alive If the dark comes hunting your heart tonight I’m not afraid [Verse] Pill bottles lined up like soldiers Tiny white flags in a losing war You joke about it like it’s nothing But your shadow’s scratching at the door Basement thoughts with the volume maxed out Feedback screaming through your veins You wear your pain like a leather jacket Studded with guilt and gasoline [Pre-Chorus] When the power fails and the sirens fade When the fear starts calling you by your name I’ll be the noise that breaks the chain [Chorus] Are you afraid of the dark in your head? The kind that crawls under hospital beds If the world shuts down and the sky turns red I’ll be the match in your shaking hands You don’t gotta drown in the quiet You don’t gotta bleed just to feel alive If the dark comes hunting your heart tonight I’m not afraid [Guitar Solo / Breakdown] [Bridge] I’ve seen the void behind your eyelids Seen you bargain with the floor Heard you say you’re “better off gone” Like I haven’t heard that before If you’re falling through the ceiling If the night won’t let you breathe Take my voice like a lifeline wire Wrap it tight around your grief [Scream] You are not the ghost in the doorway You are not the lie in your veins You are more than the sum of your scars More than the weight of the blame [Chorus] Are you afraid of the dark in your head? The kind that crawls under hospital beds If the world shuts down and the sky turns red I’ll be the match in your shaking hands You don’t gotta drown in the quiet You don’t gotta bleed just to feel alive If the dark comes hunting your heart tonight I’m not afraid I’m not afraid [Outro] Even if the signal dies Even if the sky caves in I’ll stand in the dead air with you Till the silence finally breaks Not afraid of the dark When I’m holding you in it [End]
